A rustic but completely adequate bungalow.

Cederberg Kliphuis is the perfect base for day excursions in this pristine area. Take a good book, or good company, as the comms in the valley are non-existent. Also some folding chairs for the stoep. The river was only a trickle, so if you want to swim, you will have to drive about 16 km. The reception staff who sold the firewood were friendly and helpful (take an axe and matches!).

Ry eerder verby.

Dis maar dieselfde swak diens probleem by al Cape Nature se plekke. Die mense wat daar werk gee net glad nie om vir jou nie. Dis net 'n werk vir hulle en word betaal, hoekom moeite doen. Daar is geen selfoonsein nie so hulle weet jy kan hulle nie eers bel nie. Al reël jy met hulle voor die tyd en sê jy moet uit die Kaap uit ry en gaan dalk laat wees. En dan is jy vroeg en hulle steeds nie daar nie.

Drive by instead.

It's the same poor service problem at all of Cape Nature's locations. The people who work there just don't care about you at all. It's just a job for them and they get paid, why bother. There is no cell phone signal so they know you can't even call them. Even if you arrange with them ahead of time and say you have to drive out of the Cape and may be late. And then you're early and they're still not there.

Die akkommodasie was nuut uitgeverf en ingerig maar die werk was nie klaar nie.

Dit is geleë direk langs die Pakhuispas pad - kyk oor pad. Huisies was nie klaar herstel nie: slegs een muurprop vir die yskas; geen blindings of gordyne in die slaapkamers nie. Die toegangshek van die reservaat word nie beheer nie en ook nie gesluit nie. Geen inligting oor die Cederberg-natuurreservaat en of ander inligting was beskikbaar nie. Die besprekingskode stem nie ooreen met hulle kode nie wat die proses bemoeilik.

The accommodation was newly painted and furnished but the work was not finished.

It is located directly next to the Pakhuispass road - look across the road. Cottages were not fully repaired: only one wall plug for the fridge; no blinds or curtains in the bedrooms. The entrance gate to the reserve is neither controlled nor locked. No information about the Cederberg nature reserve or other information was available. The booking code does not match their code which complicates the process.

Rustige tydjie tydens blomkyknaweek.

Ons het die Saterdagaand tydens 'n naweekrit vanaf Kaapstad deur die Sederberg en Biedouwvallei hier oorgeslaap. Die huisie (Cedar Rouge) is gerieflik en goed toegerus. Geen elektrisiteit, maar sonkrag verskaf lig en gas sorg vir die res. Heerlike kaggel wat die plek lekker warm maak op 'n koue aand. Onderhoud is 'n bietjie agterweë - verf wat afdop in die badkamer (verkeerde verf gebruik) en swak vakmanskap met installering van die stort wat kosyn laat verrot. Die omgewing is pragtig en die uitsig asemrowend.

Quiet time during flower viewing weekend.

We slept here on Saturday night during a weekend trip from Cape Town through the Sederberg and Biedouw Valley. The cottage (Cedar Rouge) is comfortable and well equipped. No electricity, but solar power provides light and gas takes care of the rest. Lovely fireplace that makes the place nice and warm on a cold evening. Maintenance is a bit behind - peeling paint in the bathroom (wrong paint used) and poor workmanship with installation of the shower causing the frame to rot. The surroundings are beautiful and the view breathtaking.

Ongelooflike ligging.

Daar moet meer onderhoud gedoen word. Ligte werk nie en verf skilfer af. Stort lek water in die struktuur in. Behoort gerapporteer te word aan die hoofkantoor.

Pragtige ligging, heerlik stil en rustig.

Die verblyf en ligging is alles wat ons voor gehoop het. Die feit dat daar nie elektrisiteit is nie het ons wel onkant gevang en tot pap fone en kamera's gelei.

The accommodation and location is everything we hoped for. The fact that there is no electricity caught us off guard and led to flat phones and cameras.

Quiet and peaceful. Fresh air.

While we would recommend Cedar Rouge to friends, we would also tell them that out of the six overnight destinations of our flower trip, it was the most expensive for two people, and by comparison, not good value for money. The roller blind in the lounge/dining room only covered half the window and a ceiling light bulb in this area was missing. There was no blind on the side kitchen window and no curtain either. No firewood was provided for the indoor fireplace or for braai-ing. We had to buy a bag of firewood - which was provided in other overnight facilities along our route.

Clean basic amenities in beautiful surroundings.

The units are old but clean. Lovely fire in the living room to warm us up. Well equipped kitchen. Comfortable beds. Maintenance needs attention; for example we had no bulb in the living room light.

Lekker.

Stuur asb. weer kaart-pin, eerder as adres wanneer persoon op pad is. Ons het verdwaal omdat fisiese adres op kaarte ons na kliphuis in Sederberge geneem het - 44 km uit Clanwilliam.

Very disappointing and poor value.

The cottage fireplace was unusable, in spite of having been told it was fine. iI was mid August, cold and raining, but we had to open every door and window to let out all the smoke from the room. The cleaners were there when we arrived and told us they had just switched the fridge on (gas fridge). What they didn't tell us was that she turned it on a high setting. Consequently all our fresh produce was frozen by morning, forcing us to throw away R150 salad material. Cut short our stay and came home. I will be complaining to Cape Nature and want reimbursement for one night.

The position, access and staff were wonderful, the infrastructure needs attention.

The fridge froze all my vegetables and the indoor fireplace smoked a lot, seems the chimney needs a clean. The beds were comfortable and the place was clean.
